September 12, 2017 · 0 Comments
Shelburne’s Lori Cracknell is “In The Money” after winning the $100,000 top prize with OLG’s Instant In The Money Multiplier.
On her way home from work, Lori was day dreaming about winning $100,000.
“I’m not even kidding. I really had a feeling I was going to win the lottery,” she shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto. “So, I picked up a IN THE MONEY MULTIPLIER ticket.”
Lori scratched the ticket when she got home.
“I revealed the first number, then turned to my husband and proclaimed ‘I won $100,000!’ Then I was tongue-tied. I couldn’t even put a sentence together,” she laughed. “But I did manage to convince my hubby to go buy a bottle of champagne.”
Lori and her husband have future plans to purchase their forever home in a rural Ontario community. “This win brings us a step closer to that. But for now, we are going to buy a hot tub and do some travelling. Winning the lottery is opportunity. Less planning, more doing – true freedom.”
INSTANT IN THE MONEY MULTIPLIER is available for $5 a play and the top prize is $100,000. Odds of winning a prize are 1 in 3.96.
